Origin and naming

Joachim Heinrich Campe - The pedagogue and linguist who gave the school its name

The Campe-Gymnasium was created in 1990 from the amalgamation of the two high schools in Holzminden, the former grammar school Wilhelmstraße and the former grammar school Liebigstraße. The two grammar schools developed from the grammar school for boys and the grammar school for girls, which were renamed in the course of the introduction of coeducation in 1974/1975.

The writer, who was born in the Holzminden district and a former high school student, Joachim Heinrich Campe, was chosen as the namesake . The school is located in the buildings of the previous school, Gymnasium Wilhelmstraße; Students and teaching staff at the Liebigstrasse grammar school moved there.

history

The origins of the school lie in the Amelungsborn monastery . The monastery in the Holzminden district on the Odfeld was founded in 1135. It is one of the oldest Cistercian monasteries in Germany.

In 1569, one year after the introduction of the Reformation, the monastery was assigned school duties by Duke Julius of Braunschweig . Abbot Andreas Steinhauer then set up a boarding monastery school, which began with twelve students. After three years, successful students were able to acquire the university entrance qualification.

Under Duke Karl the First of Braunschweig , on January 15, 1760, the school was relocated to the town of Holzminden, 13 km away . For this purpose, the Mansbergsche Adelshof on the corner property on Uferstraße was bought up in 1753. The reason was the decline of the school in the remote Amelungsborn . Wilhelm Raabe quoted Karl I on this : "A high school of poachers does not convince us or our ancestors resting in God." In Holzminden, the school moved into the courtyard of the von Mansberg family on the Weser, acquired for this purpose . The first rector of the school in Holzminden was Friedrich Wilhelm Richter, who also carried the title "Prior of Amelungsborn". This title lasted until 1812.

Due to a lack of space and the increasing deterioration of the Mansbergschen Hof, a classicist new building was erected in 1826 on the Weser in the Uferstrasse, on the site of the old courtyard (inscription above the portal "DEO ET LITTERIS"). At that time the school had about 200 students.

Besides the Duchy of Braunschweig , the majority of the students came from the neighboring states of Hanover , Westphalia and Hesse . In the middle of the 19th century there were opposing currents within the student body, which were reinforced by the building trade school opened in 1832 and the fraternity movements there. These opposing directions consisted of humanistic and Christian groups, which fought fierce verbal battles and contributed to the fact that in 1858 a school association was founded in the rock cellar in Holzminden. Influenced by these circumstances, eight Göttingen students, all friends and former students of the grammar school in Holzminden, founded the student union Holzminda on November 10, 1860 in the Black Bear in Göttingen , which many students from Holzminden joined in the following years. The founding members included Georg Stölting , Ludwig Schumann and Karl Dauber .

In 1875 the school was separated from the Church by law and nationalized. In 1894 the now larger grammar school moved from Uferstrasse to a new building on Wilhelmstrasse (inscription above the portal "DEO LITTERIS PATRIAE"). A private school for girls founded in 1891 was housed on Uferstrasse. From 1918 the “Herzogliche Gymnasium” was called “Staatliches Gymnasium”, from 1922 as “Staatliches Reformrealgymnasium”, from 1937 as “Staatliche Oberschule for boys” and from 1955 as “Gymnasium for boys”. The building complex, known today as House 1 of the Campe-Gymnasium, consists of five building parts, which, in addition to the Remter and Bendal buildings completed from 1894 and up to 1897, also include the extensions 1952–1955 and 1957–1959, and most recently the extension to include a natural science area 1974– 1976. House 1 now has an area of ​​6,300 m².

In 1967 the "Gymnasium für Mädchen" (called "Staatliche Oberschule für Mädchen" (State High School for Girls) from 1937 to 1955) moved from Uferstrasse to a new school building on Grimmenstein or what later became the Liebigstrasse school center. In the 1974/75 school year, girls were admitted to school for the first time as part of co-education . In 1976, the Holzminden district took over responsibility for the two grammar schools in Wilhelmstrasse and Liebigstrasse from the city of Holzminden. House 2 on Billerbeck was built in 1927 and an additional floor was added in 1933; In 1983 and 1993 there were numerous extensions and conversions here too, and from the 1980s it was the Billerbeck orientation school . Due to the declining number of pupils in both schools, the Liebigstrasse grammar school was merged with the Wilhelmstrasse grammar school in 1990 and, at the suggestion of Erik F. Lüdtke, was given the name "Campe-Gymnasium - founded 1569".

In 2004 the Campe-Gymnasium took over the building of the former orientation level on Billerbeck, in which the elementary school "An den Teichen" was last housed, and from then on referred to the building as House 2. It has an area of ​​3,072 m², in which primarily the students grades 5 to 7 are taught. In spring 2011 there were various spatial planning concepts in the Holzminden district to renovate the Campe-Gymnasium, to carry out additional buildings or to outsource it to the Liebigstrasse school center in Holzminden. A citizens' initiative was founded to maintain the high school at its current location. The Campe-Gymnasium has had its own cafeteria at House 2 since 2014. The students here pay one euro for their meals, while the rest of the actual amount is borne by the Holzminden district. Before that, the students could use the HAWK cafeteria.

Historical library

The historical department of the library of the Campe-Gymnasium is exhibited in the green cabinet of the Weserrenaissanceschloss Bevern . This part of the library only contains books from the period before 1875 and also includes works from the time of the Amelungsborn Abbey School. Few works still refer to the book collection of Wolfenbüttel court counselor Jacob Burckhard , which was purchased for Holzminden in 1760 and is now in the Hanover State Library .

Working groups

At the Campe-Gymnasium, students have the opportunity in their free time to take part in a working group (AG) (including: Schulsanitätsdienst & Schüler-Ruder-Riege (SRR)) or in similar projects such as a buddy project in addition to regular lessons .

School medical service

The school medical service (officially Sanitätsdienst Campe-Gymnasium , founded in 2003 ) serves the purpose of 'bridging' the period of time until the arrival of professional rescue services ( rescue service , fire brigade ) in a meaningful way by applying effective first aid measures in the event of school accidents . The school medical service is administered independently by the students themselves and is financed by donations from local companies, private individuals and the Friends of the Campe-Gymnasium. All school paramedics complete a standard “ First Aid ” course as well as the advanced module “Extended First Aid / Medical Aid”. Older school paramedics sometimes acquire higher qualifications. The training of the paramedics takes place predominantly in the context of a cooperation with the Malteser Hilfsdienst ( Höxter ).

Student rowing team (SRR)

In the mid-1920s, high school students at the then high school for boys in Holzminden began to be interested in rowing for the first time. The "Association of Former Students" supported the efforts for student rowing on the Weser and paid for the purchase of the first rowing boat: In 1927, an A-belt quad was handed over to the newly founded student rowing team (SRR). That was the beginning of rowing in Holzminden.

In the following decades, the SRR always enjoyed great popularity among students. The enthusiasm for rowing increased steadily, which was reflected in the growing number of rowers and the considerably larger number of trips. There was no shortage of younger students, so that the SRR became a stable and quite active sports association at the high school.

Rowing courses are now offered as part of physical education and as a voluntary work group from our own boathouse on the Weser . Less the competitive sport, but day trips and hiking trips during the holidays are the purpose and high point of school rowing . Since the beginning of its existence it has been directed by a student who holds the position of rowing attendant. The boat maintenance team also takes care of the maintenance of the boats. After the war, the office of protector was also set up by a teacher at the school. He represents the interests of the rowers vis-à-vis the school and provides regular rowing lessons. In 2007 the student rowers celebrated their 80th anniversary.

Former students are members of the Association for the Promotion of Student Rowing e. V. Holzminden organizes and supports the student rowers.
